Newly Released WineX 2.2 Supports EverQuest

Posted by timothy on from the full-cuppa dept.

Mattzilla writes "The latest release of Transgaming's WineX (details available here) now supports EverQuest. You asked for it, here it is. This release also has Direct 3D and Direct Show updates as well as fixes for Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat 8.0 CD device auto-detection. With EverQuest now under Linux I'm sure a great deal of people won't find a need to be dual-booting any longer." The EverQuest support is called "preliminary"; check out those release notes for a few known problems and workarounds.

    Who needs a Wintendo gaming system anymore if all these games run under Linux?

    OpenGL is fine, but directX is superior.

    Of course! Doom 3 is going to be coded in directX, as a matter of fact! Oh wait, no it's NOT it's being coded in OpenGL! Wow, imagine that.

  3. How about Tomb Raider and Descent by dh003i · · Score: 1, Troll

    Well, Tomb Raider is one of the best and biggest selling series in the last decade.

    And the Descent series is one of the best of all time.

    Why not these ones?
